Buy an iPhone 16 or Wait for the iPhone 17? Here's How They Might Compare

On September 9, Apple will hold its iPhone 17 event at Apple Park, unveiling the iPhone 17 series and discontinuing eight existing products as it refreshes the lineup.
To simplify its catalogue, Apple is streamlining offerings tied to the iPhone 17 rollout and ensuring all iPhones sold support Apple Intelligence.
Among the devices being phased out are four iPhones: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, plus Apple Watch Series 10, Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple Watch SE , and AirPods Pro 2.
Pre-Orders are expected to begin on September 12, with in-store availability on September 19; Apple typically drops standard models' prices by $100, while third-party retailers may continue selling discontinued handsets.
Beyond discontinuations, the new lineup emphasizes the iPhone 17 Air's 6.25 mm thickness and analyst Ming‑Chi Kuo said `All new 2H25 iPhone 17 models will feature Apple's in-house Wi-Fi chips`.
